What We Do
History
Since 1993, the community foundation serving our county has been the Daviess County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Community Foundation Alliance, Inc. After extensive review, the County Services Committee for Daviess County voted on July 26, 2021, that it was in the best interest of the community to establish a separate entity, as allowed by the separation procedures outlined in the Community Foundation Alliance Bylaws.
